And I think that's drawing a bit of a long bow, honestly.

The quote is by Ring Lardner, from his 1920 humorous novel The Young Immigrants. Not that I ever read it -- I just saw the quote somewhere and was taken with it.
Yeah, it's kind of a stretch. Probably the more obvious joke is that the sign says "shut up" rather than "quiet please" or whatever the normal entry in the librarian protocol database is. If so, then there's the symmetry that all 3 were from Tai: (1) Dewey/do-we (2) "Oh joyous day"/iambic pentameter (3) snarky sign. But since Jeph said the jokes were nerdy, I thought I'd nerd out on it.

Well, thanks for your nerdy time. :)

Actually, I think Padma is winding Marten up at first, then gets sucked into her own propwash by Momo's comment and Marten's response. Of course, that's mainly based on her change of expression and body language, but it's my take, and I'm sticking with it.

The giveaway is the similarity in hair color.

--- Quote from: Mr. Doctor on 08 Sep 2011, 05:27 ---Padma is either trolling constantly or just being dumb constantly.
--- End quote ---
maybe padma's the secret bakery equivalent of raven. in which case it could be either, bit it's probably both.

Or Padma is really an AntroPC in a Humanoid Body!! She probably goes to 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramatica in order to troll people.
